I am really dummy at unix so I really go with single line commands. I use this commands in the IBM ETL tool.
I do not know how to use
Code:
for i in *.zip
do if unzip $i
then rm $i
fi
done
is i the file name?
like
for filename in filepath ? I have to define the variables right?
I generally prefer "readable" to "fits on one line", but if you want a single line UNIX command, here it is:
Code:
for i in *.zip;do if unzip $i;then rm $i;fi;done
Type this command into your shell (assuming that you use a POSIX compatible shell such as ksh, or bash) in the directory (AKA folder) where you have placed the zip files. The shell will execute a loop of commands once for each zip file in that directory setting the shell variable i to the pathname of one of your zip files. In the loop it will use the unzip utility to extract all of the files in that zip file, and then, if and only if it successfully extracts all of the files in the zip file, it will then remove the zip file.

The difference between single line commands and multiple line commands is the return key. Cramming it all on one line for no reason just makes it harder.
